Alexander McAulay (9 December 1863 – 6 July 1931) was the first professor of mathematics and physics at the University of Tasmania, Hobart, Tasmania. He was also a proponent of dual quaternions, which he termed "octonions" or "Clifford biquaternions". McAulay took up the position of Professor of Physics in Tasmania from 1896 until 1929, at which time his son Alexander Leicester McAulay took over the position for the next thirty years.

rdfs:comment	Alexander McAulay (Bath, 9 dicembre 1863 – 6 luglio 1931) è stato un matematico e fisico britannico, primo docente di Matematica e Fisica all'Università della Tasmania. Propose la teoria dei quaternioni duali, che egli chiamò anche ottonioni o biquaternioni di Clifford, essendo quest'ente matematico definito come un'algebra isomorfa a quella di Clifford su una spazio quadratico degenere. Anche il fratello Francis McAulay, residente in Inghilterra, diede il suo contributo alla teoria degli anelli.

McAulay frequentou a em Bath, Somerset, Inglaterra. Seguiu depois para o Caius College em Cambridge, onde iniciou os estudos sobre a álgebra de quaterniões. Em 1883 publicou o artigo "Some general theorems in quaternion integration". McAulay obteve a graduação em 1886, e começou a refletir sobre a instrução de estudantes em teoria dos quaterniões. No artigo "Establishment of the fundamental properties of quaternions" sugere melhorias nos textos então correntes. Também escreveu um artigo técnico sobre integração. (pt)
